A Tribute To The Late Deputy Chancellor, Kathleen Grimm (2)

Now that federal prosecutors have empaneled a grand jury to investigate political corruption, all of a sudden Gov. Geoffrey Croft, of the NYC Park Advocates, said that last year the city ignored pleas to shut down the party during a wild electrical storm on the first day of the three-day event. The Pavilion was listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. On Monday, the New York City Parks Department held a public event at the Queens Theatre called Listening Sessions ”regarding the future of the NYS Pavilion.

Regardless of plans for usage, the Parks Department noted that 2014 is the year for the conversation to begin. As for a city program that offers grants for facade restoration to eligible owners of buildings in historic districts, critics say the money available is too limited to do much good. While the actual tax rates have not changed, for the first time the New York State standard deduction and tax rate schedules have been indexed for inflation.

Opponents also worry that historic designation will lead to an unwelcome spike in property values that could force out working-class and middle-class residents who had survived the area’s difficult years and helped make the neighborhood what it is today. The jury is out as to whether designation increases property values, Mr. Slattery said; however, the board’s analysis of historic districts in Manhattan shows that the median income in designated areas is much higher than the city average. Detroit is now the city where the risk-oblivious millennials can get things done. However I have not found any specific information on this new option on the Department website.

Staten Island politicians seem pretty happy with this outcome, though, which they say will create 1,500 jobs over the next five years, more than three times the number of people employed by the prison when it closed. And special tax calculations are required if the New York AGI is more than $102,900, the original $100,000 amount indexed for inflation. I expect I will learn more about this at the January NJ-NATP state tax seminar, which includes a presentation on New York State updates.

For all taxes administered by the NYS Tax Department, any references in the Tax Law or department documents to spouse or married individual” includes a person in a marriage with a same-sex spouse. From January 2015 to April 2015, the high demand list of advertised jobs in the USA remained the same as for 2014, with Truck Drivers rising above Restaurant Jobs. Near the end of The Great Recession, about 4,000,000 jobs were advertised in America in online sources.
